Soil is the name for the various kinds of ground that can be planted on without irrigation. Someone should add a list of them here.
Farmable soils:
- Loam
- Clay Loam
- Loamy Sand
- Silt
- Sand
- Peat
Note, however, that you may only plant cave flora if the tile is marked "Indoors" (this may be checked with the "k" function).
Also note that soil cannot be smoothed or engraved, so you probably should not build any bedrooms or dining rooms in soil. Digging into soil does not generate any byproduct materials, unlike rock.
When starting a new fortress, types and quantities of available soils are listed at the bottom right of the fortress location selection screen. In contrast to rock types, soil type names appear in the same shade of brown as farm plots, and are usually closest to the top of the list (presumably, closest to the surface of the ground.)
